That reminded me of an old joke:

Finnish foreign minister and prime minister had been drinking heavily and woke up in a hotel room. They had no idea where they were. The foreign minister went to look for a toilet and asked a maid who said "Auf der anderen Seite des Ganges." (= "On the other side of the corridor" in German). He came back and said they were in India. The prime minister asked "How do you know?" The foreign minister replied: "When I asked where the toilet is, the maid said it's on the other side of the Ganges."

Sorry for your loss. Hazell. RIP Sovereign.


Cremated, compressed into a diamond and then launched to space.


.

Here here, I agree Eki, Sorry to hear about losing your pony Hazell.

AS for you Eki, I wonder how much pressure it would take to make a diamond out of you??? lol...I suspect to make a diamond, the amount of carbon in the human body would have to be compressed to just stupid amounts to produce a grain of a diamond.

Hazell, I have given it a lot of thought, and I think I just want to be interred....I let my kid help me decide where. Being cremated just doesn't seem right to me....

Sorry guys, I know it's supposed to be a sad thing but I can't stop laughing. Because I'd probably be buried on orthodox tradition that usually astonish foreigners. They can't understand that family and friends should stay by the coffin for 3 days, that the coffin is uncovered, that young unmarried dead girls are dressed as brides, that family pay professional mourners to cry / this custom is only on rural places), that you should untie the bonds of dead's feet and hands, that those who were close to the dead kiss the corpse at the end of the religious service, the custom to throw money at each crossroad of the cemetery, the after funeral meal, etc.

They have similar traditions in the Phillipines. I don't think they do the wedding dresses, but people stay with the body. I don't think any professional mourners take part, but it isn't unusual for family and friends to take a lot of photos around the (still open) casket.



As for me I've decided I want to be cremated and the ashes spread in the ocean. Simple to do, and I hope that my daughter will remember me when she sees the ocean.

I suppose if I wasn't just going to be worm food, being made into a gem would be kind of interesting...
